I've been working on a couple of experiments lately.. and I've been trying to get a good "up-strum" working. I dunno if I'm being too picky/self-critical... but what d'you think of this example? How do you practice an up-strum/reverse-strum like this?
Sidebar: I find it so 'mazing how we get the audio/sampling thing working in computerland... but even more 'mazing is the "resolution" we humans are capable of. I was working on those strums above and I was trying to get some other rhythm things working with them... and I was getting my timing pretty right, just playing along with a metronome. The time intervals between rhythm parts I was playing ended-up being 'off-tempo' by less than 0.1%... Heck. Galileo was SOOOO right...

), the second guitar does the rhythm all the way through, and it's the piano that's doing the chords. Said piano player played a lot with said chords, arpeggiating both up- and down-wards. Still one of the better versions ever recorded. (Best version? The Astronauts, bar none. Trust me on that one.
